Unified Science & Bees!

Due to weather conditions this afternoon, we will be having an indoor graduation at Morse High School. Due to spacing constraints, no guests will be allowed in the gym without a ticket. There is extra seating that DOES NOT REQUIRE TICKETS in the theater. All are welcome to theater seating where the graduation will be livestreamed. This seating is first come, first served. If there are very young children who can sit on an adult's lap, they will be allowed in without a ticket. Doors to the gym open at 12:30 pm. No one will be allowed in the gym before that time. Don't have a ticket? The Morse graduation will be broadcasted via LiveStream on the Morse High School Facebook page and the Morse YouTube channel at: https://bit.ly/morseyoutube

The Topsham-Brunswick Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution held their award ceremony last night. Becoming the DAR Good Citizen of your high school means you have demonstrated the DAR Good Citizen qualities of dependability, service, leadership and patriotism. You stand out among your peers, and your efforts are recognized and appreciated by your school, your family, and your community. Please help us in congratulating our 2024 DAR Good Citizen, Delaney Crews!

If you see a Shipbuilder or Destroyer Band member today, thank them for serving their community and honoring the fallen by representing our schools and district by marching and playing in the Memorial Day Parade. They were fabulous!

Mr. Tinker moved his English class to the courtyard yesterday to enjoy the warmer weather! 📖

Check this out!

Hannah, Rose and Isla shared their love of art by painting an interpretation of a mural in Paris originally and collaboratively painted by an American and French artist through the FAMA project. Congratulations and enjoy your trip! 🎉

On Tuesday, March 19, the Class of 2027 traveled to Bowdoin College to participate in Morse High School's annual Freshman Awareness Day. This day featured four presentations by Ed Gerety, Jason Tardy, Mae Winglass (Class of 2018) & Dr. Breiner, and the organization Students Empowered to End Dependency (SEED), all of whom touched upon aspects of leadership, hard work, discipline, motivation, the dangers of substance use and making good choices, and healthy lifestyles. The students ate at Smith Union on the college campus and were treated to a pizza lunch provided by our wonderful cafeteria staff. Upon returning to the high school, students engaged in group discussions relating to the content of the messages that the speakers delivered.

See anything familiar? Please encourage your student(s) to take a moment to look through our lost & found and collect anything that may be theirs. All remaining items will be donated after March 29th!
